Published on 25 May 2023 at 10:00 am By Prathu Sharma

In this April 2023 detailed car sales analysis article, we’ll look at the YoY and MoM change in sales figures for each car and the YoY, MoM change each car witnessed in the same month.

We’ll also include sales figures from the last 6 months to give you an idea about the 6-month trend of each car on sale in India and share our observations.

Speaking of consistent performers over the last 6 months, top five cars ranked by the average sales over the last 6 months are:
1. Maruti Suzuki Baleno (B2-Hatch, 17,529)
2. Maruti Suzuki WagonR (B1-Hatch, 16,743)
3. Maruti Suzuki Swift (B1-Hatch, 16,396)
4. Tata Nexon (B2-SUV, 14,529)
5. Maruti Alto/Alto K10 (A-Hatch, 14,087)
As it is clear from the numbers, Maruti holds the biggest market share owing to its consistently good selling cars. 4 out of 5 cars with best average sales for 6 months are from Maruti Suzuki.
Tata has done something right with their B2-segment SUV, the Nexon, as it stands 4th out of 78 cars on sale in the Indian market currently.
Disregarding the numbers of low volume cars like Marazzo and Kona Electric, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz was the clear winner in terms of YoY gains in April. It recorded a YoY growth of about 146%.
The 10 top-gainers in the market in the YoY comparison analysis are:
1. Maruti Suzuki Ciaz (146.00%)
2. Hyundai Tucson (86.57%)
3. Hyundai Verna (85.75%)
4. MG Gloster (80.16%)

7. Maruti Suzuki Swift (56.13%)
8. Kia Sonet (50.02%)

Maruti’s supremacy over the Indian car market is such that Maruti would have to lose over 87,600 units in sales to match the second best-selling brand, Hyundai.
The WagonR from Maruti Suzuki was the best-selling model in April, with almost 21,000 units sold.
The manufacturer with the least units sold in April was Jeep, with just 558 units.
In the last 6-9 months, we’ve witnessed a lot of action in the Indian auto industry with a bunch of new car launches, generation updates and mid-life refreshes. We can expect a lot more to happen in 2023.
